About this listen
A Netflix feature film starring Tom Holland and Bill Skarsgård.
Willard is a tormented veteran of the carnage in the South Pacific who can't save his beautiful wife, Charlotte, from a slow death by cancer no matter how much sacrificial blood he pours on his 'prayer log'.
Carl and Sandy Henderson, a husband-and-wife team of serial killers, trawl America's highways searching for suitable models to photograph and exterminate.
The spider-handling preacher Roy and his crippled virtuoso-guitar-playing sidekick are running from the law. And caught in the middle of all this is Arvin, Willard and Charlotte's orphaned son, who grows up to be a good but also violent man in his own right.
A dark and riveting vision of America from the award-winning author of Knockemstiff.
©2011 Donald Ray Pollock (P)2011 Random HouseCritic Reviews
"Donald Ray Pollock redefines the term 'American Gothic' in his debut novel, taking Flannery O'Connor and William Faulkner and turning them up to 11.... The Devil All the Time is a very dark slice of Americana." (The Herald)
"An extraordinarily brutal yet tender insight into the lives of his characters. Superb." (The Times)
"Like being dragged backwards through a briar patch by William Faulkner and Flannery O'Connor while Nick Cave howls hosannahs at a blood-black moon... Spider-gobbling revivalists, kick-back sheriffs, sideshow freaks, perfidious preachers - all are present and most incorrect....You can taste the metal in the water and the tang of decay in the fetid air." (Time Out)

Beautifully dark Americana
A dark yet beautiful glimpse into American. Wonderfully narrated. I deeply enjoyed the dark religious undertones.

Dark
Engrossing, though depressing look at the dark side of life. A book full of despicable characters that makes you glad your not one of them. The convincing narration puts you right there in the post war mid west. Curiously addictive.

Depressingly good
Dark, depressing with little retribution... but a fantastic story, with detail that takes you there. I enjoyed every minute of this, will be interesting to see what they can do with the movie...

Dark and beautiful prose, excellent narrator
A superbly written story, but not for the faint of heart. I thought the narrator was brilliant.

Excellent, all it was claimed to be and more
Awesome book excellent narration, it's a haunting noir tale, filled with a diverse range of characters, some of whom are evil and grotesque, some damaged beyond repair and some just trying to navigate the pitfalls of societies margins, there's religion and hope but they don't go together, it's a long dark tunnel of a book but there is always enough light to make it worth the listen.

A good book that I enjoyed
this Book is good. I hope they cast someone very unattractive to play Preston Teagardin because that would make sense. At the very least make sure Arvin isn’t way less attractive
